Embeddable Assets

This article is intended for customers who host their Asset Bank on-premise, and provides information on technical changes that need to be made on the server level to configure the feature. If you are hosted in the Cloud with us, please contact our support team to enable or configure embeddable assets.

When asset embedding is enabled you can create embeddable version of assets which can be displayed on any external webpage, email via an HTML code. Embedded assets are publicly available so therefore do not require a login to Asset Bank in order to view them.

Please be aware that if you delete the original asset file from your Asset Bank then any embeddable versions you may have created will also be deleted from the system.

To enable it you will need to

Enable the following setting in your ApplicationSettings.properties file:

Versioning

Note, if you re-upload a new asset (e.g. to create an updated version of the original) then this new version will now be shown in the sites you have embedded the asset in.

Permissions

This functionality can be used by Admin users and user Groups which have 'Users can embed assets' option enabled and 'Download' permissions on the asset to embed. Once an user has permission to embed an asset then an "embed" link is visible on the asset page.

Other settings

Asset Bank can create an embedded version of an image, file, video and audio assets. To change how this embedded versions get created you will need to edit the following setting in ApplicationSetting.properties file

Video assets:repurposed-video-maintain-preview: whether repurposed videos should maintain the selected preview image that the asset has at the time of the repurposed versions creationrepurposed-video-preview-max-height: maximum height of the video preview on the repurposed/embedded video page.
